Refreshed Hyundai Elantra

HYUNDAI-Sime Darby Motors (HSDM) recently introduced the new and refreshed Hyundai Elantra C-segment sedan for the Malaysian market. The face-lifted Elantra boasts 14 improvements and upgrades over its predecessor.

Matching it sharpened exterior design, the 2015 model year Elantra now sits 20mm longer at 4,550mm in length, with its front and rear widened slightly by 5mm and 15mm respectively for a more balanced and stable look.

The highlights include a set of redesigned alloy wheels, as well as new LED Light Guide and Projection Headlamps primed on premium variants to give the Elantra an even more dynamic outlook.

On board, the cabin has also undergone a minor design revision, the most notable of which being the relocated air conditioning vents, as well as the upgraded instrument panel and premium variant's infotainment unit with smartphone mirror-link function.

Also revamped here is the gear knob and a Flex Steer System primed in the premium variants of the Elantra. Carried over from the previous version of the Elantra are the 1.6-litre Gamma and 1.8-litre Nu four-cylinder petrol engines primed with D-CVVT, as well as the matching six-speed automatic transmission units.

Six airbags comes as standard across the range, as well as ESC (Electronic Stability Control), ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), VSM (Vehicle Stability Management) and HAC (Hill-Start Assist Control).
